Abstract

See full text

A first control device regarding a running stability of a vehicle, such as an anti-skid braking system, a four wheel steering system, a four wheel driving device and a second control device for automatically avoiding the vehicle from being in a dangerous state, such as an automatic braking device, an automatic steering device are provided. Further provided is a fail judging device for judging a fail time when the first control device improperly works. The control for avoiding a danger by the second control device is restricted when the fail judging device judges the fail time of the first control device. Thereby, when the first control device fails, measures to automatically avoid the danger independent of a driver's intention by such as an automatic braking, an automatic steering, is not taken. This previously prevents the vehicle from being unstable.
